Dennis Wheatley at his best. This book is full of intrigue and suspense, the characters are richly described in detail and you become very familiar with them. Theres plenty of surprises as the story unfolds, with twists and plots aplenty.

Just The Thing For An Intelligent 12-Year-Old
20 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback
I read this when I was a kid and it really impressed me: derring-do, occult thrills, a hot dame, and Adolf Hitler. I dipped into it again years later and discovered a fairly pedestrian thriller, but if you're young and looking for seemingly arcane and forbidden reading, this will fill the bill. I read several other Wheatleys and this was, for my teenage (well, pre-teen) money, the best. It spurred a life-long interest in the occult. Though I remain a skeptic, I love reading about the mountebanks and charlatans who populate its byways. "They Used Dark Forces" boasts a nasty magus clearly based on Aleister Crowley, who was a thousand times more interesting than his fictional counterpart here. Still and all, good fun for an undemanding (or naive) reader....

Fairly interesting

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If this book were entitled "They Didn't Actually Use Dark Forces But There Was A Lot Of Excitement, Courage And Interestingly-Applied Psychology" it would be more accurate.
Worth reading, but don't expect more than an above-average adventure yarn.

Evil play in an Evil time.
18 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
Using the Satanic occult in an attempt to bring down Hitler in WWII?
It's always fun when an author uses alternative means as to the fall of Nazi Germany or a parallel dimension to it's surival.
Here Dennis Wheatley uses one of the more famous events to portray his story. The fall of Hitler and the reason behind it, duping Hitler to believe that he will be ressurected as a superbeing that would rule the world. As if he wasn't trying to already.
A little dark for those with a weak stomach but you soon get use to it.
